Hi. This is the first time I've had an inground pool. The previous owner covered it with a tarp that apparently had holes in it, so over the winter it filled up with leaves and other nastiness. We have taken the cover off and a pool person put 8 gallons of shock in it, but I don't think that was right. We're left with this nasty murky mess that's full of leaves and debris. I've tried using my net to fish it out from the bottom, but it's really not working so well. I'd like some advice on what to do. Pics of the pool and equipment are below. I don't know what kind of equipment I have or how to turn it on. Any advice or suggestions that you could give us novice pool owners would be awesome. The pool is kidney shaped, about 40-50 years old and roughly 48000 gallons according to the old owner. It is 12 feet deep.
